Question 1

The notion of _____ was eventually added to the Health Belief Model (HBM) as the 6th concept used to explain health behaviors.

Accepted Answer

Self-efficacy was added as the 6th concept to the Health Belief Model (HBM) to explain health behaviors. Self-efficacy refers to an individual's belief in their ability to successfully carry out a specific behavior to achieve a desired outcome.

Question 2

Which of the following is NOT a key concept used with the Health Belief Model (HBM) to explain health behaviors

Accepted Answer

Perceived behavioral control is not a key concept used with the Health Belief Model. The four key concepts used in the HBM are perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, and perceived barriers.

Question 3

What type of unanticipated barrier did Pendry (2001) discover in the research conducted on South African villagers who were given HIV tests

Accepted Answer

Pendry (2001) discovered that the South African villagers who were given HIV tests experienced increased stigma as an unanticipated barrier. This stigma was in relation to the perception that being tested implied promiscuity or immoral behavior.

Question 4

Which of the following statements is TRUE in reference to perceived benefits and perceived barriers

Accepted Answer

Perceived benefits and perceived barriers are both important in helping individuals move from potential to actual behavior change. Perceived benefits refer to the positive outcomes that the individual associates with adopting the new behavior, while perceived barriers refer to the obstacles or challenges that the individual anticipates encountering when trying to make the change. By balancing these two factors, individuals can make informed decisions about whether the potential benefits of the behavior change outweigh the perceived barriers, and take action accordingly.

Question 5

According to the _____, one's "subjective frame of reference" is an essential component to understanding health behaviors.

Accepted Answer

The Health Belief Model (HBM) emphasizes the importance of an individual's subjective frame of reference in shaping their perceptions and attitudes towards health behaviors. The HBM suggests that individuals are more likely to engage in health behaviors if they perceive themselves to be at risk for a particular health problem, believe that the benefits of the behavior will outweigh the costs, and feel confident in their ability to perform the behavior.

Question 6

The Health Belief Model (HBM) was designed to

Accepted Answer

The Health Belief Model (HBM) was designed to examine motivational factors associated with health behaviors. It aims to understand why people engage in certain health behaviors and what factors influence their decision-making. The HBM considers individual beliefs and attitudes about health, as well as perceived barriers and benefits to engaging in specific health behaviors. It does not directly measure self-efficacy, assist with policy creation, or explore the effects of peer influences.

Question 7

The Health Belief Model (HBM) was introduced in

Accepted Answer

The Health Belief Model (HBM) was introduced in 1954, but none of the options provided match this year. However, the closest and most commonly mistaken year provided in the options is 1974, which is incorrect. The correct year, 1954, is not listed, indicating a potential error in the question or choices provided.

Question 8

Health psychologists are interested in measuring the degree to which Marco feels at risk for catching the H1N1 virus.Health psychologists are therefore interested in Marco's

Accepted Answer

Health psychologists are interested in Marco's perceived susceptibility, or his belief in the likelihood of catching the H1N1 virus. This is a key factor in understanding his health behaviors and decision-making related to prevention and treatment. Perceived severity (A) refers to the belief in the seriousness of the illness, perceived self-efficacy (C) refers to the belief in one's ability to take preventive actions or seek treatment, and perceived barriers (D) refer to the obstacles or challenges to taking such actions. While these factors may also be relevant to understanding Marco's behavior, perceived susceptibility is the most directly relevant to assessing his risk for the virus.

Question 9

_____ contributes the least to explaining health behaviors (Janz & Becker; 1984).

Accepted Answer

The answer of _____ contributes the least to explaining health...

Question 10

Perceived susceptibility and perceived _____ contribute to one's perceived threat of disease.

Accepted Answer

Perceived susceptibility and perceived severity are two of the four factors that contribute to one's perceived threat of disease, according to the Health Belief Model. Perceived susceptibility refers to an individual's belief that they are at risk of contracting the disease, while perceived severity refers to their perception of the seriousness of the disease and its potential consequences. Both factors are important in shaping an individual's behavior and motivation to take preventive measures. Benefits, self-efficacy, and barriers are also important factors in this model, but they do not directly contribute to perceived threat.

Question 11

The Health Belief Model (HBM) seeks to explain health behaviors of persons who believe they are

Accepted Answer

The Health Belief Model (HBM) is a theoretical framework used in public health and health promotion to understand the factors that influence health behaviors of individuals. It specifically focuses on individuals who perceive themselves as healthy, but may engage in behaviors that put their health at risk. HBM seeks to explain why people may or may not adopt preventive health behaviors, such as getting vaccinated or exercising regularly, based on their perceptions of the potential benefits and barriers involved.

Question 12

Which of the following may be considered a barrier to performing a health behavior

Accepted Answer

All of the above may be considered as barriers to performing a health behavior. Money can be a barrier for those who cannot afford healthcare or healthy food choices. The stigma associated with certain health conditions may prevent individuals from seeking treatment. The fear of losing social standing may cause individuals to avoid engaging in health behaviors, such as quitting smoking or attending support groups for addiction.

Question 13

Perceived severity is shaped by the perceived impact of the disease on the person's life and

Accepted Answer

Perceived severity is subjective and can be influenced by factors such as emotional response to the illness. The other options may have an impact on the person's perception of the disease, but they do not directly shape the perceived severity.

Question 14

Rosenstock introduced the Health Behavior Model (HBM) to understand

Accepted Answer

The Health Behavior Model (HBM) was introduced by Rosenstock to understand why and under what conditions a person uses preventative health services.

Question 15

According to the Health Belief Model (HBM), _____ and _____ affect the likelihood of a person taking action against a disease.

Accepted Answer

The answer of According to the Health Belief Model (HBM),...

Question 16

According to the research conducted on the effectiveness of the Health Belief Model (Janz and Becker; 1984), _____ were found to be the strongest of the 4 constructs in explaining "sick role behaviors."

Accepted Answer

Perceived barriers were found to be the strongest of the 4 constructs in explaining "sick role behaviors" according to the research by Janz and Becker on the Health Belief Model. This indicates that the obstacles individuals perceive in taking action towards their health significantly influence their health-related behaviors.

Question 17

Which of the following is an example of a "preventative health service"

Accepted Answer

Well-care medical visits, such as annual physicals or check-ups, are considered preventive health services. These appointments help individuals identify and address potential health problems before they become more serious or require more extensive medical intervention. Seeking dental care for a toothache (B) and making an appointment with a physician for a long-term respiratory problem (C) are examples of necessary medical interventions but do not necessarily fall under the category of preventive health services.

Question 18

Janz and Becker (1984) conducted a review to test the explanatory power of the Health Belief Model (HBM) and found

Accepted Answer

Janz and Becker's review found strong evidence to support the constructs of perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, and perceived benefits of the HBM, but only weak evidence to support the construct of perceived barriers.

Question 19

The central concepts of the Health Belief Model (HBM) were derived from the work of

Accepted Answer

The central concepts of the Health Belief Model (HBM) were derived from the work of Kurt Lewin, a social psychologist who developed theories on behavior change in the 1940s and 1950s. The HBM was further developed by other researchers over the years.

Question 20

Perceived severity is a(n) _____ value.

Accepted Answer

Perceived severity is based on an individual's perception and interpretation of a situation or condition, making it a subjective value. It is not based on objective or scientific measurements, and while it may be influenced by ecological factors, it is ultimately a personal judgment.
